“Dad, how come you always get to decide?”, my children ask. “Because, I’m the oldest and wisest”, I answer. At Evermade, I’m not the wisest, but I’m certainly the oldest, so that’s why they made me the guy in charge of running our everyday business operations. But in reality, nobody really does what I say.

Overall nice guy, occasional smart-ass. Liverpool fanboy.

Back in 2011 a friend of mine called me and told me to grab my iMac and join him in a dark room in his mom’s basement. He wanted to work together. I thought he was crazy, but so was I. And so, we founded Evermade.

From Designer to Frontend dev, Planner, Project Manager, Sales & Marketing Director, COO & CEO – I’ve held many titles in the past years. But all I really care about is that everyone in our team enjoy their work and are motivated to do their best for our clients.

Oh, and I’m running our sales & marketing, so if you’re interested in working with us drop me a line or give me a call.

I was founding Evermade back in 2011. I started as a developer. I’m still on that track leading our dev team and getting my hands dirty with projects.

I’m primarily a technical dude but during my career I’ve been also doing sales, managing projects, running opportunistic startup(s), being CEO, cleaning our office toilets, creating videos and working as a graphic designer. And written a book. I enjoy in stepping out of my comfort zone and seeing if I can float.

I like sports in general – like kayaking, running & swimming – but I’m especially known as an active cyclist (some could call it obsession) and cycling blogger/youtuber. In addition to that I’m spending time with my family and enjoying nature in all of it’s forms.

I started as a Flash designer/animator until Mr. Steve said Flash is not the future. I moved on and now I’m a designer/developer hybrid who likes to do some teaching.

My big dream was to start a company and so one day I decided to move my computer to my mom’s basement and thats how Evermade got started. Nowadays I try to push the quality of our end products higher. I want to be able to achieve projects goals while keeping the world class visual and technical quality.

Every winter I take a long vacation to go backcountry snowboarding with my friends. I also like to document the company & snowboarding with photography.

Cheers,

My name is Sam Roon and I am an American entrepreneur, metal-head and wine enthusiast.  If ‘Devil’s Advocate’ was a full-time job I would certainly hold a senior-level role executing its responsibilities.  I believe critical thinking is key to achieving excellence in business.

As an Account Director at Evermade I have the honor of working with some of the finest designers and developers I have ever known.  The talent on hand makes my job easy and allows our clients to receive the best possible results in the industry.  We know what we are good at, and we won’t take work that we can’t bring value to.

If you want to know something about me, want to spar on project ideas, or if you need someone to critically analyze your project, just ask.

I’m Harri Heljala and as the Head of Growth Hacking here at Evermade I’m helping our clients to get more value out of their websites through goal-driven planning and growth hacks. With a background in entrepreneurship, design and development I know how to use data and testing to grow businesses online, whether it’s through conversion optimization, customer research or marketing.

When not working or launching new products, I’m riding bikes, training for triathlon, freeskiing, travelling the world or enjoying the great outdoors.

I am restless creative mind and I get excited really easily. I laugh a lot and loud — even during client meetings and workshops. I like workshopping with clients.

When diving into new project I want to wrap my head around the whole thing and understand the client. I want to really solve problems and not just do some sugar coated layouts.

Within all this web stuff I also have experience in illustrating, all the print stuff and creating visual identities for companies and events.

I try to get off-line as much as possible. The best ideas are more likely to hit me while reading a book instead of surfing through those so-called inspirational sites. In my off-line life I also enjoy graffiti, Finnish archipelago and spending my money dining in restaurants.

Who, me? Ok, here we go!

I’m a web developer hailing from Vantaa, built my first website in elementary school and I’ve been doing it professionally since 2008.

When not creating websites, I’m burning excess energy by banging on drums or cycling, except when I’m refuelling at the buffet. During the cold, dark Finnish winter you might also find me completely immersed in a video game, trying to escape the harsh reality that’s looming outside the window. And I’m not very good at doing things casually, I’m either fully committed to what I’m doing or not very interested in it at all. It’s just like someone forgot to install gears 2-4 when I was put together..

Oh yeah, my drumming videos can be enjoyed on Youtube and some drumming & cycling related snapshots of my life on my Instagram-page.

I’m a web designer/developer hybrid that’s had a passion for creating websites for well over 10 years. In school my favorite subjects were math and arts. Luckily, some vice president came up with the internet and I got to combine them in a hobby, which then became my profession.

My main motivations are to always push myself, and help my clients create something that makes them proud and adds value to their business.

Other than making websites, I kill time by playing games and making music. Is cycling a pastime or a method of transportation? Maybe both.

I joined the Evermade team in July 2017 as a Junior Project Manager but my love for project work started already a long ago. Projects are mentally challenging but also very stimulating and rewarding. Tell me to stay at home doing nothing and that will fail completely. 

I see project managers as backstage magicians. Do whatever it takes to make things happen, as creative as the solution might need to be but always with a happy and positive attitude. I always want to know as much as possible about everything, get the whole picture, understand the issue and find the best way to solve it. And think outside the box! What would happen if we turned left instead of turning right….?

Most of the day I just walk around talking, talking, laughing at silly jokes and talking again. You might also find a ready-made suitcase hiding somewhere just waiting for me to book my next trip…

I used to be a designer, but then I took an arrow to the knee was sat down in front of Sublime Text and was told to make code happen. Since then, I’ve spent the last 3,5 years at Evermade working at various roles and projects, but have more or less settled on code: front-end wizardry with a touch of esoteric back-end languages and tools.

I love trying out new things, especially if those new things bend my mind a bit. I’m transparent and open, I challenge the defaults, and I ask the question “why?” a lot. I strongly believe that shared understanding is critically important for successful collaboration, and that openness and insistence on clear communication are a great way to get there.

Things I enjoy outside of my professional life include (but are not limited to) good coffee, video games and nature (especially when hiking there).

Hello! I am Joensuu Man!

My Finnish nickname is “Remppa”, don’t ask me why?! After having travelled more than 15 countries,  work in 3 different industries, I fell in love with Digital world and with a country, the land of thousands lakes. Where I come from? I give you in 3: 🧀🥖🍷 you didn’t get it? I am from Marseille, France.

At Evermade, my role is to bring teams together to make things happen and solve problems based on guesswork and unreliable data. It’s all about leading, empowering, facilitating & communicating. I also put my heart into making sure my clients will be proud of our partnership. I sometimes make coffee to my lovely fellows or bring them cookies when I feel they need a boost.

You can find me doing online certifications and courses between two episodes on Netflix. I like cooking, I enjoy hiking and every kind of sport in the nature. I am vowed to eat healthy and organic food. Yet, you can find me incognito during weekend after a tough week crawling to Burger King or the local Hesburger.

I’m the newest addition to Evermade’s design team and I have to say that I’m glad to be here! I mainly design websites, but can almost handle everything. I have some front-end development experience, so I also understand websites. I think that, it’s just not about how websites look like, but the whole experience and function.

I have been cruising around Western Finland. Born in Käläviä and moved to Tornio to study fine arts. Graduate from fine arts program I moved to Turku. After 3 -years in Turku I moved to Helsinki. And here I am.

I spend my spare time in the woods, either with my dog or my bike. Every once in awhile I go climbing out/indoors. I also have to admit that I’m a Jokerit fan. See you in the games 😉
